Chapter 1

Snippet of the tail end of SERIOUSLY!

Caroline,

Would you please do me the honor of your company tonight.

Just walk thru the back door and into the gardens.

I will be waiting for you, My Love.

Niklaus

It has been quite sometime when Caroline has last received a handwritten note from Klaus. And during all these times she had ended up falling more and more in love with him, she just didn't know it at the time. So here she was once again hoping for the best but expecting the worst. By the time she reached the gardens she felt like she was ready to collapse, then she saw him, her Klaus, dressed in white. Almost identical to the ball that had been in the Mikaelson Mansion it seemed so many years ago.

As Klaus saw her, he slowly approached her drinking in her beauty. He lifted her right hand to kiss it and led her toward the table.

"Wow!" was all Caroline could get out "what is all this" gesturing to the elaborate table set-up.

Klaus grabbed the champagne which he uncorked, smirking a little "this is our thing, do you remember?"

Biting her lip, Caroline responded "Yes, it is. I'm actually surprised you remember things like that."

Klaus poured the champagne in the glasses, lifted his and gestured for Caroline to lift hers "Caroline, I remember every little thing about you. Every thing that happened in Mystic Falls. I will never forget the day I first laid eyes on you, I admit it wasn't the best of circumstances but I know by the time I saw you lying in your bed, slowly dying, I knew I had to save you even if you had chosen to die. I have lived a thousand years and I have learned to be alone. Even with my siblings with me, I have always felt like I was alone. That I did not deserve happiness, kindness, goodness…..love. Then you come along and I thought maybe, just maybe…..but you really wounded my heart. I knew you felt something for me, but you were afraid to admit it, I let it go, knowing you were not ready. That when I went back for your graduation. I told you that I would be your last love and I meant it. Just over a month ago, when I asked for your confession, you shocked me with what you said but I had already promised you that I would live you alone, never go back to Mystic Falls. But making love to you, I have never made more beautiful and meaningful love to anyone else. When you came to me the other day, I have never been more shaken than that moment I saw you in Rousseau's. You saying what you said, hearing you finally admit that you Love me, I just couldn't, wouldn't believe it to be true. I know I asked even begged for your love, but I never really thought, prepared for the day you would actually say the words to me and know that you mean them with everything in you. I was afraid that you would realize that I was not worthy of your love. That you would get tired of me. That you would leave me. And when that day comes, you would have left me in pieces, broken me in a way only you could. Only you could…..but, then you were relentless, persistent, unyielding. An I finally understood, what love was. It was absolute, unrestricted, total, unconditional. It was everything that was new to me, that only you could give to me" Klaus stood up and walk to Caroline slowly kneeling down and looking into the eyes of Caroline who had already been in tears since the beginning of Klaus speech. "I love you Caroline, My One true Love for eternity. My Sweet Caroline. I will promise to show you how much I love you everyday. I will spend the rest of our eternal life together proving to you that I am worthy of your love." Reaching inside his jacket pocket "Caroline, My one and only eternal love, will you be with me for all eternity?" Holding the box open and removing the ring from inside the box and lifting Caroline's ring finger.

Caroline who had been overwhelmed with emotion hugged Klaus, gave him a quick kiss then looked deeply into his eyes and said with her whole being "Always and Forever my Niklaus, My one true Love".

THE END

of

SERIOUSLY!

Elijah had been searching for his brother who has been suspiciously absent in several council meetings in New Orleans. For someone who had obsessed with becoming "King" for a long time, it was out of character for Klaus to digress in his duties. This was the part that after all he enjoyed the most, rendering judgment on supernatural creatures who disobey his law.

But then the three months that Caroline had been with them has had an enormous change in his brother. He was more considerate of his siblings, tolerant of the supernaturals in his realm, smiling and in Caroline's company occasionally giggling like a teenager. He looked the happiest he has been since when they were human. This was all because of Caroline, of course. He had always wanted all of his siblings to get along, act like a family, be a family, and not for the lack of trying that sometimes ended in mistaken alliances and judgments. If he had known all it took was for Caroline to be by the side of his brother, he would have made it happen three years ago. It was his mistake for staying away from Mystic Falls, only returning in times of dire need. Even his tentative alliance with Elena and the Salvatores had not given him an insight in the potential of Caroline. Sure he had seen her during the ball at the Mansion but he had been distracted again to really notice that Caroline was more than just a passing fancy, a pawn in a game his brother usually amused himself with. If he himself had not witness the sometimes over the top display of emotion of both Klaus and Caroline with one another, he would never have believed it himself. Niklaus was really in love and it was the kind of love that he believed with all his being was forever. Sure he had felt once or twice that he had the same kind of love with Tatia or Katerina. He could see that Niklaus was really a changed hybrid, so to speak. And Caroline was not only loved by his brother, he had also come to care for Caroline as a sister. And despite the protests of Bekah, he was sure that his sister felt the same way about Caroline. Bekah was happier and more settled, all she needed was a true friend.

Elijah was a little sad that Kol and Finn couldn't witness the change in their brother. Have not had to pleasure to interact with Nik now that he finally accepted that he deserved to be loved, for the first time he was the brother that Elijah always wished he had all throughout out the 1,000 years they spent together. Now that Niklaus had Caroline, his priorities had shifted. His world has now evolved, making Caroline the center of his universe.

So it was in the kitchen that Elijah finally found his brother, obsessing over a cookbook with the clutter of ingredients all around.

"Lijah brother" Klaus called to his brother "quick I need you help with this".

Elijah who approached his brother raised an eyebrow when his attention was directed to a page in the cookbook Klaus was referring to, he read, Chocolate Tart. His brother was in another neurotic mood to bake Caroline a cake. Yes a cake. Klaus and baking, two words Elijah had never thought he would use in a sentence to describe his brother. So that's why Bekah had informed him that once again she and Caroline where going shopping, Nik had probably forced Bekah to take Caroline shopping so he could surprise her again with his this newly discovered talent.

Elijah read the recipe in detail and the write-up that went with it.

A surprisingly simple chocolate tart. Chocolate is packed with aphrodisiac goodies, including phenylethylamine - the "love chemical" - which releases dopamine in the pleasure centres of the brain and peaks during (whisper it) orgasm.

Really, an aphrodisiac cake! Even he was not that ignorant, but really his brother need not go to such lengths, it was pretty obvious that Caroline constantly wanted to jump his brothers bones and the added incentive of the "love chemical" happening tonight, he would definitely be seeking accommodations elsewhere tonight. Probably bring along his sister, as she would have plenty to say about the sex life of their brother after tonight.

"Brother, make yourself useful. Get the mixing bowl. It has to be perfect. Only the best for My Caroline." Klaus had stated.

Unwilling to be a party to Klaus perfecting his baking abilities, Elijah reminded Klaus of his other responsibilities in New Orleans, quickly recapping the important matters that had happened in the last few days. Displaying disinterest, Klaus impatiently told Elijah to take of what needs to be done. Elijah for his part took the opportunity to escape, after all Klaus had all but instructed him to tend the kingdom. So with his choices limited to kingdom ruling or baking assistant, he chose the former and made his exit.

By the time Caroline and Bekah had arrived back home, Klaus had disposed of all traces his baking and instead pretended to be peeved with Caroline, telling her a little dramatically that she seemed to enjoy the company of his sister than him and took the statement further by saying she was using him so that she could be friends with his sister,

Bekah's face all but said "as if" looking at her brother as if he was daft having been threatened last night by the same brother to get Caroline out of the house and take her shopping the whole day. Walking toward her room, Bekah though her brother was really going mad.

Caroline for her part was quick to assure Klaus that what he was thinking wasn't true at all. Immediately dropping all her shopping bags and hugging her Klaus. "I missed you. You know I would have never gone shopping with Bekah, but she said you had insisted. You know much as I have learned to love Bekah and Elijah, I would rather spend every day with you, if I can. I love you, My Niklaus. Never forget that. Never doubt that" and proceeded to envelope herself into the arms of her beloved Klaus "what do you have planned for tonight? I can cook for you, I have learned a few new dishes or we can eat out?"

Klaus held her hand, playing with her finger that contained the eternity ring "I was thinking we could have a quick dinner outside then come back here. I made dessert"

This caught Caroline by surprise, Klaus had never cooked or baked her anything previously. Relying on his compelled cook or his minions to provide human food. Klaus was trying to be casual about it but Caroline new it was a big deal for him. He probably obsessed with how to make the perfect dessert. She was starting to understand her Klaus better now and his desire to always please and surprise her.

"Are you really hungry my love? We could just skip dinner, just watch a movie and have the dessert you made while doing that." Caroline had teased Klaus.

About two hours later Klaus and Caroline were watching the credits of Hunger Games and had decided to watch part two of the movie right after. Caroline had been obsessed with the movie and in true Klaus form, Klaus had sat through another viewing of the movie, never mind if it was the tenth time this month he had watched it. Anything for his Caroline. While Caroline changed the dvd, Klaus stood up to get the "dessert" he had earlier prepared. Coming back to the movie room a few minutes later with two glasses of blood, the ever present bottle of champagne and his Chocolate Tart which he positioned on the coffee table in front of them, he proceeded to hand Caroline her glass of blood then sliced a piece of the tart on a plate to share before seating back down beside Caroline.

Initially focused on the movie showing in the home movie theater, Klaus playfully distracted Caroline by handing her a forkful of his tart. Less than a second after Caroline had mouth the tart, she turned to Klaus with wide eyes and shrieked "you made this? Oh my God, my love. This is heavenly, I could die and go to heaven" grabbing the whole plate from Klaus and chugging the remainder of the slice into her mouth "Oh my God My Love, you have outdone yourself. I Love You" the movie forgotten, she went on to straddled Klaus and passionately kissed him soliciting a moan from Klaus.

"Love, is this is what a slice of tart does to you, I would gladly bake and cook for you every night" the rest of what he wanted to say was lost as Caroline quickly undressed in front of him and went on to rid him of his shirt and almost violently demanding he strip for her immediately.

And so Klaus once again found himself quite a happy hybrid three hours later, totally exhausted but extremely sated. His Caroline would be the death of him. Carrying his Caroline bridal style to there bedroom, Klaus once again obsessed in his mind what he would do next for his Caroline.

Several days later, Caroline found herself being dragged by Elijah of all people to a place called "Aquarium of Americas" it was apparently a place to explore. Billed as the undersea world! A 400,000 gallon tank filled with the world's most diverse collection of sharks & Rays, an Amazon Rain Forest, a lively family of penguins and 60 other exhibits are sure to thrill!

Klaus had apparently had the place closed for the day so both of them could spend the day together. He had even dragged Elijah to escort her to the place. Klaus was seemingly to busy to do that chore himself. Elijah has ushered her all the way to the door before dramatically bowing and taking his leave.

Caroline ensued inside gasping at what she saw "Oh my God!"

End of Chapter 1

I hope you like it. I tried to create a clear contrast between part 1:Seriously! which has Caroline as the one running after Klaus (which in really a twist in story line, most of the fanfics has Klaus running after Caroline). Part 2:Neurotic Me! was really intended to show Klaus and his insecurities in his relationship with Caroline.

I just finished the first Chapter. This story has two more Chapters to go. So I welcome suggestions and reactions, what would you guys want to see or do you have a funny situation you want me to include in this story. Remember this is suppose to be light and humorous not really heavy.

This story has again side-tracked me from writing a new chapter for "Worlds Apart" as I had originally intended to. Well, maybe tomorrow, I promise…for all those who are following my other story.

Also, I want to start to write other fanfics outside of TVD/TO. I do watch a variety of other shows but have never felt the need to really write a fanfic for the others. Maybe I need a bit of encouragement? I do watch NCIS: LA (I loved Deeks) and started to watch other shows.

Watch out for Chapter 2 in 3 to 4 days…..

Love and Hugs Around the World!
